Why the H*ll Don't the Spanish Language Radio and TV Stations
have English on the SAP Channel ?

i want to know ~ RHF

Since english language programming dominates the broadcast bands,
please tell us specifically which programming you would like carried
as a subcarrier that is not carried elsewhere. Maybe SSL classes?

El Caminolito,

1 - While English Language Programming does 'dominate'
TV in many areas : In some areas Spanish Language
Programming is the 'most-watched'. It is in these areas
that Spanish Language Broadcaster should use the SAP
Channel and provide an English Language simulcast of
the programming.

There is no demonstrable demand for english language versions of
hispanic, chinese and russian programming. None. Most cable systems
have on their basic service over 100 channels of english language
programming avaiable now and over 500 channels for those with a lot of
time on their hands. Why spend the money on such programming where
there is no demand.

2 - Every Spanish Language Program that is Broadcasted
should be on the SAp in English. But the process could
be 'Phased-in-Over-Time" :
First - The Prime-Time Family Hours 7-10 PM
- - - Especially the Telenovelas {Novelas}
NOVELAS =http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telenovela
WORLD TV =http://www.telenovelas.gr/worldtv/english.htm
Example the Spanish Language "Betty La Fea" has
become the English Language "Ugly Betty"
Second - All the News and Information Shows
Third - All Children's Programming
Fourth - All Daytime Programming : Talk Shows,
Game Shows, ETC.
Fifth - All Movies especially the American Movies which
were originally in English an already have an English
Language Sound Track. (What Could Be Easier !)

3 - "SSL" - ¡ Claro Sí !
SSL = Spanish as a Second Language (SSL) Classes

It's about Greater Programming Diversity {Leading to
Cultural Understanding} and Equal Access to all forms
of Broadcast Media for English-Only-Speakers in Areas
where they are in-fact a Minority to assure that they
are not being marginalized because of their Limitations
from 'only' being able to Speak a single Language.
{Human Rights For All - Including English-Only-Speakers}

It's About Fairness and Equality For All Peoples . . .

i know - it's better that i should learn spanish ~ El RHF Olé !

Roadie - You clearly must be a 'mini' "DE" in training.

Over-and-Over-Again I will re-post myself :

IT"S NOT ABOUT THE MONEY {COST} :
ITS ABOUT FAIRNESS AND EQUALITY BETWEEN ALL PEOPLES :
Asian-Americans; Hispanic-Americans; African-Americans
and yes even European-Americans.

Now I understand. Some language services for which there is no demand
should be provided to give you a false sense of equality and
balance. Yours is an inherently unfair proposal though, because you
are omitting many many equally valid two-way translations.

We should provide:
Uzbek to Spanish and vice versa.
Slovak to Cambodian and vice versa.
Farsi to Wu and vice versa.
Lithuanian to Hawaiian and vice versa.
Qawiaraq to Yoruba and vice versa
etc.

Indeed why don't you busy yourself this slow sunday by figuring out
how many two language translation permutations there are. Then figure
out who will pay for it all.

Once you have finished then consider why it is often important to
limit our choices to the ones that will result in some value.
